disappointing because it was kind of
confusing. don't see why clooney got an award for this, he barely said anything. it was an interesting look at how powerful the oil people are. worth a dvd rental |

funnier than I thought it would be. Didn't stick to the book, but it was entertaining anyway. The gal who played Trillian was smokin' hot. |

Really really good action movie. jack black was great as the crazed movie director. This one guy gets his head bit off. And of course, Naomi Watts was smokin' hot. |

Contrived, but entertaining action, if coupled with strong suspension of disbelief. Penélope Cruz is smokin' hot.

acting was horrible, it was like watching an afternoon soap opera. violence was good. You might want to rent the DVD because Kate Beckinsale, the actress playing the lead role, was smokin' hot. |

It took me a long time to realize I was watching a completely suck-ass film. It was horrible, especially after reading "Do Androids Dream of Elecric Sheep," the book on which the movie is based. The only redeeming thing was the fact that Sean Young is smokin' hot.

Great story. Philip Seymour Hoffman pulled off a great performance, and the story, was twisted. The costumes and sets were great too.

Another must-see movie. The acting was great, and the situations concerning race and misunderstanding really made me think. Sometimes people were the good guys and bad guys at the same time. Right and wrong is subjective. Whew. |

Demi Moore is starting to get jowels. This movie had some predicable plot twists, however it was a hell of a lot better than Constantine. |

Not as good as I thought it would be. The lead actor, David Strathairn, who plays Edward R. Murrow, is so serious all the time, he doesn't seem like a real character. The characters were hard to care about. Settings, wardrobes and all the black and white hoo-ha was pretty impressive, but all in all, not that good. |

Story about hypocracy and acceptance. I was skeptical, but ended up liking it. Set in Christian School. Satirical, but not in a cruel way. Suggested by Barry, and I must say, a pretty decent movie. |

Good acting, great sets and costumes. Um, it was a little GAY though. Still, not bad. Philip Seymour Hoffman is a kick ass actor in a supporting roll. He plays some intense characters. |

It sucked in a way a 92 minute music video would suck if it wasn't very good. I watched it till the end because Charlize Theron is smokin' hot. |

It wasn't as bad as I expected. Same boilerplate Pixar plot, same incredibly cool graphics. Larry the Cable Guy had a cool part as a talking tow truck. Owen Wilson did the voices for the NASCAR main character. It was a little off-putting to see cars talking, but then again "Toy Story," "Bug's Life," "Monster's Inc.," didn't make much sense either. I give it three asterisks. |

I can say one thing for it: it was LONG. It was action-packed, over the top at times, pretty creepy. I'll give it an "okay". Keira Knightley is smokin' hot. |

Chilling, amazing look at the Military Industial Complex that controls our military today. Ike warned us, but we didn't listen. This is a must-see movie. We are fucked. ~ 04sep06 |

I've put off watching this movie because I thought it was going to be some kind of "fast and furious" crap. I was wrong. It's a great movie with twists and turns I didn't expect. And of course, even while playing a skank, Helena Bonham Carter is smokin' hot. ~ 091306 |

Holy Crap! Mia Farrow, who is 61 years old in this movie, is just like Dick Clark. So much work done, she looks exactly like she did in 1968 when they filmed "Rosemary's Baby". It's like she's wearing a Mia Farrow mask. This movie was actually a pretty good remake. Julia Stiles is smokin' hot, but in the hospital scene, she kind of had a big Charlie Brown head. ~ 11.05.06 |

I'm a huge Jack Black fan. I was looking forward to seeing this film. If anyone would give it a good review, it would be me. But this is an unwatchable piece of shit. I watched the first twenty minutes and it was torture. They should show this to the prisoners at Guantanamo Bay. Jesus Christ this movie sucks. Ana de la Reguera is smokin' hot. ~ 11.05.06 |

I read the book this movie is based on a few years ago, and the movie was good as or better than the book. The bar scene, where the tobacco, gun, and alcohol lobbyists met is EXACTLY the place I pictured when I read the book. The ideas about argument and moral rationalization expressed here are worth the movie rental alone. Funny and insightful. And oh yeah, Katie Holmes is smokin' hot. ~ 11.16.06 |

I give it 4 astericks because I'm a fan of Philip K. Dick, the guy who wrote the story this is based on. Obviously I'm too stupid to follow the plot, but I caught on as the movie progressed. The effect was special, where they animated over the actors, and Robert Downey Jr. was friggin' awesome as the freaky dude. And of course, Winona Ryder is smokin' hot. ~ 12.20.06 |

Steve Carell is why I rented this movie, and he was great. But Alan Arkin's role as Grandpa was hilarious. This is a simple road movie with some pretty deep storylines. I give this movie 5 astericks ever though no one is smokin' hot. ~ 01.05.07 |

This is one of the funniest things I've ever seen. The situations he puts people in lets the racism and stupidity shine through. Excellent. And of course, Pam Anderson is smokin' hot. ~ 04.07.07 |

Labyrinth is a pretty good fantasy movie set during the Spanish Civil War. It has subtitles, hard to explain, but worth a rental. The special effects were special. Maribel Verdú is smokin' hot ~ 06.17.07 |

The Fresh Prince has come a long way. I have to admit Will Smith did a great acting job in this movie, which had a lot to do with going crazy from solitary confinement. The story had a couple of weak points, like the imaculate car in the end and the female lead had perfect makeup. And oh yes, the female lead, Alice Braga is smokin' hot. ~ 01.12.07 |

The Cohen Brother's do it again in another jaw-dropping mesmerizing movie. Tommy Lee Jones is a great lawman, as he always is. The ending promped one dumbfounded moviegoer in our theatre to go "what?" as the credits popped on the screen, but this is a masterpiece. Un-friggin-believable. The bad guy, played by Javier Bardem is terrifying, and Kelly Macdonald, the trailer park bound wife of the good guy, is smokin' hot. ~ 06.17.07 |

This unwatchable piece of shit was a made-for-tv movie. I thought it might be okay cause Peter O'Toole was the main character. He used to be a great actor, but now he's a quivering sack of withered flesh. I rented it with my monthly free rental from Blockbuster, which is a good thing, because the acting was so bad I never found out if anyone was smokin' hot. ~ 01.12.07 |

Fuckin' A. Movie was fantastic. Robert Downey Jr. was his usual smart-ass self. The story was good and the effects were extra-special. Jeff Bridges plays a great bad guy. Gwyneth Paltrow and Leslie Bibb are both smokin' hot. ~ 05.03.08 |
